New Savage 10 round magazine .308/223 rifle?

I have only just noticed these being sold in the USA, I suspect that they are a reasonably recent addition to their line up. With the public calling out for factory rifles with 10 round magazines for some time they have taken their time in getting round to it.
Checking the Net it appears that there may be more than one model available, possibly depending on the local laws as I have seen some with 4 round mags and some with muzzle breaks.
If someone could get them here for around the £1000 or less, I could see these being an excellent entry gun instead of having to buy a product to throw half of it away and replace with custom bits ie Remington 700.
Interesting to see that the .308 comes with a 1/10 twist barrel instead of the more common 1/12,

Hope that the mag they went with is an AI type NOT a Savage only one

What's special about the AI magazine ?

[Dangermouse]

They (AICS) are well made, available and relatively well priced - when you see what is being charged for many others,

I reckon that is Savage's answer to the Ruger Scout Rifle, even though they have their own Scout rifle in their inventory...... but that's not a 10 round, AI box that this one ceratainly does look like.

Howa already have that option in their range although not with AI mags the Howa 10 rnd mags are well made and not badly priced either
